BFFs on the outs! Bodybuilding.com has sued Jim Stoppani, and we’re reaching peak drama ranges. Mike discusses what he is aware of.

UPDATE 1 Bodybuilding.com is now SUING GNC for $100,000,000!

UPDATE 2 – We introduced on an IP Lawyer to debate this case

UPDATE three – Our IP Lawyer comes again for the March 15, 2017 updates which might be BIG for Stoppani’s facet:

This has gotten realer than actual.

DISCLAIMERS:
1. I am not an legal professional of any type, particularly not IP lawyer
2. PricePlow is affiliated with BOTH Bodybuilding and GNC, and receives about the identical commissions. We take into account that unbiased.
three. This can be a fluid state of affairs and could also be old-fashioned by the point you see this.

Quick story is that this:
1. Bodybuilding.com and Jim Stoppani / PhD Health are combating over use of the “JYM” mark, which no one trademarked in its first two years of use*

Jim says he formulated the merchandise and may do as he needs with it. Bodybuilding claims the precise reverse.

Bodybuilding.com is clearly not having any of that, and pre-emptively sued him after receiving a letter from PhD.

Jim Stoppani has taken it to GNC

Bodybuilding.com is ALSO not having any of that, and is threatening swimsuit towards GNC, its franchises, and anybody else who dares promote the JYM merchandise.

This brings us to near-peak drama ranges, not seen for the reason that 2012 DS Craze saga. If Bodybuilding actually sues GNC, we’ll be at 10/10 on the loopy scale.
